Are you familiar with Choffy? Me either! Recently I was contacted by an independent Choffy manager and asked if I would like to try a sample to review on my blog. I was hesitant, but agreed. And guess what?! It was quite good. It tastes just like dark chocolate to me. Choffy is brewed chocolate. It is 100% premium cacao beans, roasted and ground for a rich, full flavored drink. Choffy is richer than hot chocolate and brews like coffee. Not only does it taste good, it is good for you. It supplies you with long lasting energy without the negative effects of caffeine.

Brewing the sample was easy. This video will show you how to brew Choffy with a sample french press.

The first 100 attendees received a $5 The Home Depot gift card and an autographed copy of Martha Stewart Living magazine. Each attendee also received a free one year subscription to Martha Stewart Living magazine.

I'm a big fan of Martha Stewart.

As she walked on stage, I couldn't help but smile like a goof when I saw her.

Also in attendance was Kevin Sharkey, the editorial director of decorating for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.

It was a such a great event. I attended the session with fellow blogger and friend, Lakeitha. We were so excited to see Martha and listen as she shared her favorite decorating tips for the holidays.

Her decorating ideas are always so amazing.

At the end of the session, Martha took a few questions from the audience.

She really engaged the audience and you could tell she was just as excited to be there as we were!

As soon as I saw it, there was no question- I had to have it. I fell in love! It was the most beautiful chair I had ever seen. But it was expensive, very expensive. The chair was refurbished by artist Andrea Mihalik and sold in her Etsy shop. There was no way I could ever justify spending that much money on a chair. Unless, in my husband's words, it(the chair) got up and made me breakfast everyday- ha! Oh well. My love for the chair didn't die though, so I searched for a cheaper alternative.After searching for months, I was able to locate the name of the fabric, but $68 per yard was way more than I wanted to spend. Then after doing a Google search, the heavens parted and the angels sang. I was able to locate an affordable pair of pillow covers for sale on Ebay. Yes! I was quite excited and I couldn't wait for them to arrive in the mail.

I love the pattern. The colors work well in the room too.

The dining room is still a work in progress, but for now, I'm pleased with how things are coming together.

Ingredients10 cups of air popped popcorn1/2 cup salted butter1/2 cup honey1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamonDirectionsPlace freshly popped popcorn in a large bowl. In a medium saucepan melt butter on medium low. Once butter is melted add the honey and cinnamon. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a foaming boil, stirring constantly. Once it has reached the boiling point, remove the pot from the heat and drizzle it over the popcorn, tossing the popcorn with a long-handled spoon as you pour. Mix until evenly coated.
